WHAT do we teenagers do in our spare time? Hang round by shops with our hoods up, knifes in pocket, shouting abuse and getting drunk? Yes, all those grown ups would like to think that but, we normally just go out to have fun - go to the cinema, shopping and places like that! Or we are on Facebook.
We will spend our lives, sharing our lives, on Facebook. From posting pictures, writing statuses, and joining funny yet sometimes offensive groups or fan pages. But, have you ever thought, that maybe, you could get into heaps of trouble from those little comments?

At the moment 35 million Facebook users update their status each day, this shows how popular it is. The site's publicity and popularity levels are soaring, but over the past four years another site has had quite a bit of the spotlight too. Twitter was launched in 2006 and with its appeal of getting to hear what celebrities have to say directly from them and reading their every "tweet" it seemed like there was a new social fish in town. However, even though it may seem like Facebook is starting to slip away, no other site
